The comments section of a file shouldn't be for asking this kind of questions. Start your own forum thread. I'm answering you here, but I'm not expecting any more comments here unless it's directly strictly related to the details of the event. curiously, bulbapedia doesn't have it too. I wonder if they just didn't create a new entry for it, since it was the exact same wonder card. (and it looks like they didn't add the information for the other distributions in) Erm, yup, that applies to entries from Gen 3 to Gen 5. In terms of data, the concept of "regions" didn't exist until Gen 6. There's no "region locking". At most there's only "language locking". Yup, the 3DS data is retained when transferred up to Gen 7. Gen 8 wipes them away. Indeed, that is correct. [Tho I would like to point out, I felt like I was as clear as I could be ;P] Yes, we don't list out, this event is also on the Japanese page of Gen 5 wonder cards. (https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/1308-vgc-worlds-2012-flying-pikachu/) I'm guessing your intent on asking goes back to the whole Shiny Genesect thing. It's rather simple if you think about it: if you don't find it at the respective language page, it's not receivable by that language. Alternatively, check that event on Bulbapedia. That's a core mechanic question. While the answer is yes, it's something you should have observed from playing the games and transferring mons. Also, stop calling it "Gen 5 US Cartridge". Region does not matter for NDS games. Call it by its language. US is not a language. Bank redemptions - Depend on your 3DS Pokemon Link - same as above QR codes - Generated in game, so same as above. I can't recall for sure but sounds correct. To repeat, comments section aren't for game mechanic questions. Start your own thread and ask there.

Not to worry. The more stuff I type, the more stuff there is to correct :3

Fixed. Thanks for your contribution.

In that link, which one there is about the World Pikachu being distributed in other countries? Please do realize that linking an entire page doesn't help by itself. Do provide accompanying screenshots that proves your point. All I see is the Hawaii entry. Serebii does not have the Pikachu entry we're talking about under 2013... (I'm saying this because in our description, the redistribution date is October 5th and 6th, 2013. ) Basically, all that shows me is that there was Lightingrod Pikachu (Lightingrod isn't a move FYI) in Hawaii, but doesn't show how the re-distributions lack it. Maybe you see something I'm not seeing.. Do understand, I wanna get to the bottom to this, so that I can determine whether the description should be updated :3 Now to assume your assertion about the event were right, and answer the other part of your post: Gen 5 mon doesn't have 3DS region, Sub region and country. You could literally take the NDS cartridge and put it into any 3DS to transfer up. (NDS carts are not region locked; real retail NDS carts bought anywhere on Earth can be used on any 3DS) The 3DS region, sub region and country gained is based on the transferer's 3DS settings. It really doesn't matter what you put. (For example, someone with a Japanese languaged cart could have went to the event to receive the event. A few years down the road, they used that same NDS cart on their Japanese region 3DS to transfer up. The mon will gain Japanese 3DS region, sub region (follows the 3DS, if any set) and country [that is within the Japanese 3DS settings]) As for language, it can be ENG to KOR. No restrictions. If you check bulbapedia: (source: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_local_English_event_Pokémon_distributions_in_Generation_V#2012_World_Championships_Pikachu) This gift can be redeemed by any language available at that time. Note: language of card does not determine the mon's language. what determines the mon's language is language of the receiving game.
